This transbrake has been thoroughly tested before being packed and shipped. Proper operation depends on following a few basic instructions. As you may know, the AODE/4R70W transmissions are computer controlled and must retain all wiring connections inside and outside the transmission. The following photos will help with the installation and operation of this transbrake.(more…)

Ford’s cam phasers are specially designed, computer-controlled cam gears that have the ability to adjust camshaft position (centerline – advance or retard) while the engine is running. They are used on all 2005 and newer, Ford 3 Valve Modular engines. Since the Modular 3V engine uses two camshafts, one phaser is required for each camshaft – two cam phasers per engine.(more…)

What are cam phasers?
Ford’s cam phasers are specially designed, computer controlled cam gears that have the ability to adjust camshaft position while the engine is running. They are used on all 2005 and newer, 3-valve Ford modular engines. Since the modular engine uses two camshafts, one for each side of the engine, two cam phasers are used per engine.(more…)

Your NOS Progressive Nitrous Oxide Injection Controller is designed to provide you with an ability to “adjust” the rate at which power from your nitrous oxide injection kit is applied to your vehicle. This controller is capable of operating any NOS nitrous system that features the nitrous and fuel solenoids with a maximum combined current draw of 40 amps, not including safety solenoids. Note that the highest current draw of any standard single stage NOS system is approximately 23-30 amps (NOS Pro Fogger P/N 02462NOS).(more…)

The A-240 “E” series automatic transmission is electronically controlled. Transmission shifting and torque converter lock-up are controlled by an Electronic Controlled Transmission (ECT) Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Control unit is referred to as the ECT ECU.

NOTE: ECT ECU is combined with the engine ECU into one unit. This control unit is referred to as the engine and ECT ECU. See Figs. 1-8. In this article, control unit will be referred to as the ECT ECU on all models. The ECT ECU receives information from various input devices and uses this information to control No. 1 and No. 2 solenoids for transmission shifting and lock-up solenoid for torque converter lock-up.(more…)

The A-140E automatic transmission is electronically controlled. Transmission shifting and torque converter lock-up are controlled by an Electronic Controlled Transmission (ECT) Electronic Control Unit (ECU). Control unit is referred to as the ECT ECU. NOTE: ECT ECU is combined with the engine ECU into one unit. This control unit is referred to as the engine and ECT ECU. See Figs. 1-3. In this article, control unit will be referred to as the ECT ECU on all models.(more…)
